I'm setting up a new machine based on the "build your own" book. I have MAch3 installed and set up correctly (I think). I have 3 axis with the dir/pul set up on pins 2,3 4,5 6,7 respectively. I'm having trouble getting the motors to spin and have been doing alot of troubleshooting. My specific question here is what should PARMON look like when it is set up correctly? Currently mine shows all green (lo) except pin 12 red (high) when i first boot up MAch3. when i start hitting the jog keys 2,4,6 go to red and stay that way and 3,5,7 change back and forth with the jogging. all this time pin 12 stays red. Is this what it should look like?
Also, does anyone know if using a 6v supply that puts out 8v fry a breakout board?
